This thread is a duplicate of the ''Where have all the Kits gone'' thread. That thread was started about the same time as RCU. It eventually became a resource, with listings of where to get kits - and there are a lot of them.
If you can't find a kit to build, you're not looking.
And if you really want a hobby shop to stock kits.... buy a hobby shop and give it a try. There are plenty of kit manufacturers willing to sell to you. See that thread.

Thank you Dave you are right, of course.
I am a builder who also has some arfs but I am sick and tired of people whining about "were have all the kits gone..." If you think there are no kits available: you are wrong. Not to mention plan services, and laser cutting services that will cut the wood for you. All this threads do is bring the pro-arfs crowd facing the anti-arfs. This is about having fun doing whatever YOU like. Not about pushing somebody else into doing what you like. Like all the moronic arguments about slimers, gassers and electrics. Which is best: the one you like the most is the best.
We live in a market economy, so forget finding a lot of kits in stock (not hot potatoes these days). But if you read this, you heard about the Internet! Did ya? OK, news for ya: You can buy things on line. I swear. Among those things, you can buy wooden kits. So hold the whining.
Maybe we need a COMPREHENSIVE thread about all the kits, plan services (Ziroli, RC magazines, etc.) and wood cutters available for those less enlightened.
